Things I liked: at least they look nice

Things I would have changed: The see-thru feature is useless, you can only see the sights if you left the scope off the rings, the front objective block the viewing tunnel so it defeats the purpose of having see-thru rings.

What others should know: These rings are cheaply made and not the best quality as the first set of rings damaged my scope's finish. They were machined out of round so that when I torqued the screws to the factory recommended 15in/lb with my torque wrench, they gouged off the finish on the right side of the scope (on both the front and back ring locations). I sent these back and asked PA for a refund but they sent me another set instead, so you can imagine how upset I am that not only will I have lost $8.50 to send back the damaged scope and rings, I'll have to risk damaging the new replacement scope again with these crappy rings. The replacement rings are almost as bad as the first ones, I didn't torque them to the recommended 15in/lb because I didn't want to risk distorting the rings and damaging the finish again. So I torqued it to 10in/lb and the damn scope keeps creeping back in the rings and it's rotating due to the sever recoil and twisting of my Ruger Air Magnum. I tried to torque the horizontal Weaver rail screws to the recommended 35in/lb and it bent the crap out of the screw on one of the rings, but the other ring screw is fine at that torque, so one screw was definitely not properly heat treated. Mind you, I didn't use a ft/lb wrench divided by 12, I used a dedicated in/lb wrench so the torque I set was very exact. These rings are absolutely useless and I definitely would not use the recommended factory torque settings as you'll probably damage your scope or the rings. Better yet, just spend a bit more and buy better quality rings instead. I wish PA would have refunded my money (and covered the return shipping) so I could have bought better mount instead, now I'm stuck with these useless pieces of junk as I'm not going to spend more money sending these back again. These rings are not worth the money I paid, and I wish I could have given these a ZERO stars if it was possible.

Things I liked: They are built very well. Honestly, I own Nightforce and Leopold Mark 4 rings in this same configuration and they cost in the hundreds and these are just as good at a fraction of the cost.

Things I would have changed: Not a thing. Nadda, just dont

What others should know: Before you mount any aluminum parts, take the screws all the way out and apply lubricant to the screws to prevent galling and get a consistent torque value. Pyramid is awesome in all respects and my go to "first" people. Other companies need to take a class from them when doing business.

Things I liked: The tape on the interior surface of the rings to prevent ANY slippage. Light weight, decent finish for the price. I have used these rings on a RWS 350 magnum, Ruger 10/22's and now 2 AR15's, all have work without issue and a fantastic bargain.

Things I would have changed: Would be nice for the picatinny rail screw/nut to be of a little heavier alloy, as long as you do NOT over tighten you should be fine.

Things I liked: I like the look of these rings. They make my gun look even more diabolical. I also like the tape on the inside of the rings to prevent scratches on the scope and how the screws on the bottom don't ome completely out.

Things I would have changed: Nothing.

What others should know: This is a problem with most two-piece scope mounts. On the gun, it is hard to get the scope to sit straight on the mount. Once you get right, your scope's not going anywhere.

What others should know: Alternately tighten the right front screw and the the left rear screw on one ring. Then switch to the other two on the same ring. This was you will adjust one right without turning the scope. Then install the second ring the same way. I have had good luck doing that with two sets of these rings. Unfortunately, the large bell on the front of the scope keeps you from looking through the rings to see the iron sights.

Things I would have changed: Torque numbers, for the tightening of the bolts, would ge good to have.

What others should know: When used on a Diana Model 48 and a Leapers 3-9x50 AO Mil-Dot Scope with R/G (1" tube) --- Use the RUGGED! ---UTG MNT-DN460 Weaver Rail. It will make your Diana 48 capable of accepting Weaver Rings. The Techs at Pyramid can help and assure you that you get the right combination. I followed their suggestion and am glad I did!

Things I liked: I am very impressed with these rings, especially for the low price. They're high quality and have a solid feel to them. Also, they're great because they allow me to wear a full face shield and look through my scope whereas I wasn't able to do with my standard rings that came with my scope. Overall a great purchase and I recommend them to everyone.

Things I would have changed: I played an all-day airsoft tournament with these rings and it just so happened to be in the middle of a rainstorm. A day later, even though I dried them off immediately after playing, rust on the bolts, and a good amount of it. But not enough to effect anything and I just put another layer of paint on it - problem solved!
